Minimundus Trip

The Minimundus is a miniature park on the Wörthersee at Klagenfurt in Carinthia, Austria. It displays over 150 miniature models of architecture from around the world, built at a ratio of 1:25. Or at least that's what Wikipedia says ;)

I've been to Austria a couple of times, and I recently found pictures from my trip to Minimundus so I thought I'll share them here. They're pretty interesting and it's definitely a very unique experience to see all of these world-famous sights in one place. So here they are:

 The London Eye
 London, UK

 - not as big as it looks on the picture
 - still pretty impressive, though

The Valley of Kings

Luxor, Egypt

                     

- looks amazing and                  

  it's really detailed

         

 Hollywood Sign,
 California, USA

- just as glamorous
  as you might think,
  but on a smaller scale

                           
     Louvre
     Paris, France

   - really cool,                
     look how            
     weird it looks i              
     in comparison
     to those
     people behind


             

The Leaning Tower of Pisa
Pisa, Italy

- looked pretty leaning to me

  The White House
  Washington DC, USA

 - sure is white
   (hope you're enjoying my insightful
   comments)

     The Eiffel Tower
     Paris, France
                                                                         
    - the biggest thing
      in the park, you          
      can actually stand
      under it

- this is how it looks 

                  when you stand under it :)

Parthenon
Athens, Greece

- very ancient-y and greek-y








 

  Titanic & co.
     

- I only recognized               

  the Titanic sorry 

  haha, I think one                         

  of them was 

  Queen Mary

- they were actually

  around the water

   it looked surreal :)                                                       

    The Statue of Liberty
    New York, USA

    - again, much, much
      smaller but amazing also

Taj Mahal,
India

- very luxurious,
  even from the outside








         
  Atomium,
  Bruxelles, Belgium

   - this small one                
     looked like it took a
     lot of effort to make
     I can't even imagine
     how they built the
     proper one :O

 St. Peter's Square
 Vatican, Italy

- remarkable resemblance

 Triumphal Gate
 Paris, France

 - so detailed, makes you 
   want to see the real thing 
   and compare ;)







After our visit and a few hundred pictures I took (a lot of them quite blurry) we went to Verona and saw Juliet's balcony and in front of it was a wall where lovers left messages to one another, or together, just sharing something with the world and it was an amazing thing to see. No pictures, sadly but it did happen, I promise haha. 
I recommend visiting Minimundus because it's a lot of fun and looking at these weirdly small sights makes you feel like a giant. So if you want that giant feel or you're going for any other reason (although I can't imagine why else) definitely visit Minismundus in Klagenfurt! A little piece of advice - do go when it's sunny and warm and bring something to drink. I can guarantee you'll be thirsty because it's a long walk around the park. Also make sure you don't miss something :)
